Police in the UK have criticised themselves after a Dubliner was arrested for “causing anxiety” by retweeting a meme of a swastika made out of Pride flags.
Darren Brady, 51, who was “born and bred” in the capital, slammed Hampshire Police after he was handcuffed at his home in Aldershot on Friday.
The British Army veteran served 30 years including tours of duty in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia and Northern Ireland.
And the force has criticised its own actions as PCC Donna Jones, crime commissioner for Hampshire, blasted the arrest.
She said: “I am concerned about both the proportionality and necessity of the police’s response to this incident.”
And Mr Brady told the Mirror: “The whole event was streamed live on Facebook. I was taken away and spent hours in a police cell.
“I was then release facing no further investigation or charges, but no apology.
“The public backlash against Hampshire Police and the public support I received since the incident has been immense.
“And to put the swastika into context, I posted it in a debates group for discussion and one person was offended.”
